M. Svalgaard et al., DIRECT UV WRITING OF BURIED SINGLEMODE CHANNEL WAVE-GUIDES IN GE-DOPED SILICA FILMS, Electronics Letters, 30(17), 1994, pp. 1401-1403
Germanosilicate film waveguides fabricated by plasma enhanced chemical
vapour deposition have been shown to possess high sensitivity towards
W induced index changes. As an illustration of possible future applic
ations, direct point-to-point writing of buried singlemode channel wav
eguides using a focused, Continuous wave, UV laser beam is demonstrate
